Plant-Based

Yet our nation clearly misses the boat on this topic. Our water’s polluted partly because of the chemicals we use on our body when we shower, get out of the shower, and the rest of the day. Our air and food are polluted, and we pollute our minds with a constant stream of negativity.

“No one likes a reformed _____.” This is one of my go-to statements for teaching Compassion. It doesn’t matter what your soapbox is…fill in that blank with reformed “alcoholic, drug addict, sinner, omnivore.” In the spiritual world, it’s called Spiritual Egotism. Anytime we embark on a new lifestyle, we want to share our successes …

It has to be the hardest 2-letter word in the English language. At least that’s my opinion. It’s something a therapist taught me to say over 15 years ago when I was going through my divorce.
